Qingru Xu has grown up with love since she can remember, and her stepmother treats her as the same, so she doesn't have much attachment to her mother. Her father and grandmother would not easily mention her mother in front of her, perhaps because they were afraid that she would think too much and break her body, so they would only treat her stepmother and her as their own mother and daughter.

"Yes, at the beginning, your father insisted on marrying the sick and weak Song family girl despite the opposition of the family, and sure enough, your mother died of illness within a few years, so you were left behind, and it was also your father's thoughts about your mother."

Qing Ruxu nodded, her mother's name was Song Xu Xu, although her father never mentioned her mother in front of her, he named her Qing Ruxu, which shows her father's love and nostalgia for her mother. "I knew that my mother was also frail and sickly, and her family affairs were ...... difficult."

The old lady said: "Yes, as a mother, I didn't agree to this family affair at the beginning, but your father made up his mind, and I felt sorry for him after all, so I finally agreed." Later, your mother really fell seriously ill and passed away, but your father said that he did not regret it, and he did not regret it at all to have you for so many years. ”

Qing Ruxu smiled: "So my grandmother always wants to find a man who is as affectionate as my father for me." "Even if her life is short, I want her to have no regrets in her life. However, how can there be so many dedicated people in this world......

The old lady nodded, recalling the events at that time, "Although Xiao Song is a concubine, she has been remembered in her mother's name since she was a child, and she grew up with your mother, and her relationship is the best, and your father thinks she will treat you well, so when the Song family proposed to let Xiao Song marry her as a stepfamily, your father nodded directly." ”

She said, "I know what my grandmother meant by saying these things to me, and she wanted to tell me that my father would not marry me to anyone else for his own selfishness. ”

Although no one in the family said it explicitly, Qing Ruxu, who had already experienced it once, didn't know that he was going to see Jiang Rin today. And the facts have also proved that his father did not misunderstand Jiang Rin, Jiang Rin was able to take off the title of bandit, from a nameless body to a favorite of the Son of Heaven, all of which showed that he was an extremely outstanding person.

Qingru lowered her eyes: "But grandmother, everyone has their own choice......

………………

The Great Ci'en Temple is prosperous and boiling, covering a vast area, from the royal family to the royal family and nobles, to the common people of Li, everything likes to come to the temple to ask for a request. The Rui beasts standing high on the eaves of the Daxiong Treasure Hall are neatly arranged, looking down on the ordinary people who come and go here.

The incense mist was shrouded, and the group followed the old lady into the Buddha hall, kneeling and kowtowing.

"Let's go, let's go to the meditation room and rest for a while." Spring is coming, and many students who go to Beijing for scientific research will come to the temple to seek good luck, so seeing Jiang Rin here will not attract the attention of others.

Song helped the old lady up, glanced back at Qing Ruxu, and saw that her face was no different, so he went to the meditation room.

The meditation room is spacious and quiet, the setting is simple but very complete, the Song family placed the old lady, and asked the grandmother around him to inquire who came to the temple today. Qing Ruxu dragged the girl to the side and asked in a low voice: "I asked you to find a small servant in the house to ask for a dense gnat, did you bring it?" ”

"Take it, take it, what the girl ordered, where do the slaves dare to forget." Shizhou showed a corner of the palm-sized gnather cage from the cuff to Qing Ruxu. "Look, girl, here you are."

"Good girl, I know that you are a bold man." Qingru Xu smiled and patted Shizhou's shoulder, and said: "Now is the time when there are many spring insects, you go out to catch some and come back, no matter what, ants, centipedes, earthworms, it's best to fill this small cage, go quickly." ”

"Huh? Girl, what are you doing catching insects......" Shizhou pulled up his little face: "This is not in the house, the girl doesn't want to mess around, the old lady and the old man know, but the slave and maid will be punished......"

"Okay, you go quickly, I promise not to punish you."

Shizhou's face was full of reluctance, so he could only turn around and go out to catch insects, muttering: "Even if you don't get punished, you will be nagged by Sister Lanzhou......"

Lan Zhou was packing up his things on the side, and he put his ear on his ears: "What did you say?" ”

"Huh? It's okay...... it's okay," Shizhou said perfunctorily, and hurriedly went out.

Lan Zhouhu walked up to Qing Ruxu suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, don't you want to do anything to that son?" ”

"Shh Qingru Xu made a silent gesture, the family didn't tell her what she was going to do in the temple, and when the time came, it was just for her to take a look at it "accidentally".

Lan Zhou saw that she didn't answer herself directly, so she knew that the girl had some ghost ideas. "Girl, take it easy!"

"I know, I know!"

Lan Zhou had to persuade again, the second girl, Qing Ruchu, had already come over and pulled Qing Ruxu to sit next to the old lady, and the grandmother who Song went to inquire also came back. "Old lady, madam, there are no people in the temple today, but a few students from the scientific examination came to offer incense and ask for blessings."

"It's rare to be clean today, let's not be in a hurry to go back, just eat fasting and then leave, Song, you come with me to the front to listen to the scriptures, you two sisters, stay in the meditation room to rest for a while."

Song got up and helped the old lady to go out. Qingru Xu said: "The granddaughter should go with her grandmother." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows: "What?" Can you, a monkey, sit still in front of the Buddha? ”

Qingru Xu said: "The granddaughter wants to accompany her grandmother, if she can't sit still for a while, she will come back." ”

The old lady smiled: "I see that you have been at home for a long time, and you want to go out to breathe." You don't have to accompany me to the front hall to listen to the scriptures, go to the temple with your sister to go around, Lan Zhou, take care of you girls. ”

"Yes, old lady."

The old lady and the Song family glanced at each other, went to the front hall, and left three or five mothers-in-law to follow the Qingruxu sisters.

Song asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't Mother just take Xu Er with her, isn't it natural?" ”

"Hmph, let what my son say, I can't believe it, I have to see it for myself before making a decision. If that kid can get into my old man's eyes, it's not too late to show Xu Er, if not, there is no need to stain Xu Er's eyes. ”

The Song family didn't say anything anymore when they heard this, and when they looked back, they saw that Qing Ruxu and his party seemed to be going to the peach blossom forest behind the temple.
